What's a pace-tuned running shoe?A pace-tuned running shoe is a shoe in which the density of the midsole foam has been adjusted to react most efficiently to the forces you create while running within a specific pace zone. Pace-tuning is a way of personalizing performance and optimizing cushioning for every runner.
